I pulled out this old garment to wear for an outing last week. Before we left the house, I made my man take these pics for me. He was very puzzled when I told him I wanted to post them up my blog.
“What’s so special about this outfit?“ He asked me. And I rolled my eyes at him. He has obviously forgotten that this was what he bought for me about four years back for Chinese New Year.
At that time, I was stranded at home with our newborn and couldn’t go shopping at all. I was planning on wearing my old clothes for the festival but the man surprised me by buying two tops for me at GG/5 out of his own initiative. This was one of them.
“I bought this?” He asked again and I rolled my eyes at him one more time.
Dang. Tell me why I should bother to get so sentimental about an old garment when the value is obviously lost on a forgetful other half.
But men! They are like that.
My hubby tells me I have a memory of an elephant, I remember everything.. and he.. DUH..
ZM: They’re like that…after marriage.

now that you’e put him on the guilt trip, he’ll buy you more!
imp: Heh. That’s a good idea! Even though it wasn’t my original intention.

Exactly! Yours is 4years ago, mine yesterday only, he can also huh? hah? really? is meh? -_-
But most probably if you hint him, he sure can recall. I think your hubby is lovely… and that one of the reason you married him right? kekeke ;p
wtpg: Lovely? Hahahaha…that’s such a compliment!

I bet he remembers, but being men hor, they will try to act blur just to tease the ladies
Agree? Or he really has forgotten?
SSF: No, he really has forgotten!

Why no head shot? So sweet, really that he shopped on your behalf when you couldn’t make it to the shop.
carrie: Because the head is hideous…and shy. Hahaha…

Actually your man is very sweet mah…and that’s a very sweet top too!
Men are all the same lah…don’t know why they have such short term memory hor??
Eileen: Correct! Short term memory! That’s it.

Don’t blame him for forgetting. Somehow, their brains are not meant to be sentimental warehouses! As you realised, you are not alone.
DR: Sentimental before marriage, and forgetful after marriage…
